AbstractBackgroundHistiocytic disorders are currently identified by their component cells. The non‐Langerhans Cell Histiocytoses (non‐LCH) are a group of disorders defined by the accumulation of histiocytes that do not meet the phenotypic criteria for the diagnosis of Langerhans cells (LCs). The non‐LCH consist of a long list of d...... hiện toàn bộ

Epidemiology of childhood acute myeloid leukemia Tập 60 Số 5 - Trang 728-733 - 2013
Susan E. Puumala, Julie A. Ross, Richard Aplenc, Logan G. Spector
AbstractAlthough leukemia is the most common childhood cancer diagnosis, the subtype, acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is less common and fewer etiologic studies exist. This review summarizes the major risk factors for AML. We searched the literature using PubMed for articles on childhood AML and reviewed 180 articles. While few risk factors are definitive, we identif...... hiện toàn bộ
Enalapril and hydroxyurea therapy for children with sickle nephropathy Tập 45 Số 7 - Trang 982-985 - 2005

Enalapril has been shown to reduce proteinuria in adult patients with SCA, but the potential benefits of hydroxyurea in this clinical setting have not been reported. A single institution ...... hiện toàn bộ

Rachel Eyre, Richard Feltbower, Emmanuel Mubwandarikwa, Tim Eden, Richard McNally
AbstractAlthough the epidemiology of malignant bone tumours in children and young adults has been explored, no definitive causation of any specific tumour has yet been identified. We performed a literature review (1970–2008) to find all papers covering possible aetiological factors involved in the development of bone tumours in children and young adults. Several as...... hiện toàn bộ
